Traverse County: a nice increase this year
Traverse County’s broadband coverage dipped slightly this month, although that was probably a map correction. They aren’t in line for any BEAD funding. Therefore, I have bumped them from Green to Yellow status.
At the time of writing, the MN BEAD final proposal has not been approved, but the current proposal would mean coverage for 0 locations in Traverse County.
There is still Line Extension funding yet to be distributed, which helps connect handfuls of houses just beyond existing infrastructure. (Traverse has not benefitted from earlier Line Extension awards. So that seems like a strategy worth considering.)
Statewide, there have been changes with local and national broadband providers, which also leads to uncertainty.
